I consistently have the problem that as new kernels are installed and
grub subsequently updated, I lose my windows partition as a grub
option. I know that Ubuntu team would rather I was not booting to
windows, but it's really irritating to have to manually add it.<br>

This is the stanza I add to /etc/grub.conf to put windows back in as a
boot option; it sounds like your system is quite a bit different (i
don't know what GAG is), and since I'm using win98 this may require
substantial modification for your use (however i believe this works
fine with xp as well) at least you may have to change the hd#,# to
whatever your correct device is.<br>
